Yesterday, you entered into a futures contract to sell €75,000 at $1.79 per €. Your initial performance bond is $1,500 and your maintenance level is $500. At what settle price will you get a demand for additional funds to be posted? A. $1.7767 per €. B. $1.2084 per €. C. $1.6676 per €. D. $1.1840 per €.
Answer:
A. $1.7767 per €
Explanation:
Calculation to determine At what settle price will you get a demand for additional funds to be posted
Settle price=[(€75,000*$1.79 per €)-($1,500-$500)]/€75,000
Settle price=$134,250-$1,000/€75,000
Settle price= $133,250 / €75,000
Settle price= $1.7767 per €
Therefore The settle price that you will get a demand for additional funds to be posted is $1.7767 per €

According to Walter Shewhart:_______
a) chance causes should be eliminated whenever possible
b) assignable causes could be ignored if they did not cause too much variation
c) the mean, uppercontrollimit, lower controllimit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart
d) chance causes could be fixed
e) a control chart has time on the top axis and a plot of sample measurements
Answer:
c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.
Explanation:
Walter Shewhart is regarded as an important personality in the history of quality management. He asserted that the behavior of real processes had the tendency to change as time changed and it was not the behaviur of theoretical random distributions.
Walter Shewhart posited that causes of variation could be divided into two which are chance cause and assignable cause. He maintained that chance causes could be ignored if they did not cause too much variation, and any attempt to eliminate them usually made the problem worse. He however posited that it was possible to fix assignable causes.
Walter Shewhart invented control chart in order to differentiate between variations caused by random events and trends that indicated assignable causes. There is time and a plot of sample measurements on the bottom axis of a control chart. The mean, upper control limit, lower control limit, and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines.
Based on the above explanatio, the correct option is c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.
Last year, you purchased a stock at a price of $74.00 a share. Over the course of the year, you received $2.10 per share in dividends and inflation averaged 2.6 percent. Today, you sold your shares for $77.70 a share. What is your approximate real rate of return on this investment
Answer:
5.2%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is your approximate real rate of return on this investment
First step is to calculate the Nominal return
Nominal return = ($77.70 - $74.00 + $2.10) / $74.00
Nominal return=$5.80/$74.00
Nominal return= 0.078*100
Nominal return= 7.8%
Now let calculate the Approximate real rate using this formula
Approximate real rate=Nominal return-Inflation averaged
Let plug in the formula
Approximate real rate = 7.8% - 2.6%
Approximate real rate= 5.2%
Therefore your approximate real rate of return on this investment will be 5.2%

If the company can charge only one price, what should it be? $ Part 2 (5 points)See Hint Suppose instead of charging one price for adults and one price for children, the helicopter company decides to charge different prices for young children (ages 12 and under), teenagers, adults, and senior citizens (those people 65 and older).
Answer:
The best price is $50 per person which results in maximum profit.
Explanation:
Helicopter company has capacity for 8 people in one trip including the pilot and it costs them $5 per person therefore the price cannot be lower than $35 (7 * $5). The marginal cost per trip is $35 therefore the company cannot charge the price below this. If the company chooses to charge one price for all, it should charge $50 per person as this will result in maximum profit.
Marketing research conducted by Alcoa Rigid Packaging (ARP) revealed that the standard 3-by-4 can (12-pack) beverage box was too large for most refrigerators, so consumers could only take out a few cans at a time to cool. ARP then designed a longer, slimmer, self-dispensing 6-by-2 can box that fits into the refrigerator door or on a shelf. This example illustrates: Group of answer choices
Answer: The importance of packaging is facilitating the storage, use, and convenience of the product.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the example illustrates that the importance of packaging is facilitating the storage, use, and convenience of the product.
Since the 3 by 4 box (12 packs) beverage box was too large for most refrigerators, then the existing boxes isn't convenient and are not proper for storage, use and convenience.
The APR 6 by 2 boxes were later developed and they were facilitate for use, storage and convenience of product.
Ramon has decided to make a cash gift to the American Heart Association of $113,000. However, he is considering delaying his gift until next year when his AGI will increase to $300,000 and he will be in the 32% income tax bracket, an increase from his current-year income tax bracket of 24%.
Assume a 6% discount rate. The present value factors, at a 6% discount rate, are as follows:
Year PV factor at 6%
1 0.9434
3 0.8396
5 0.7473
Ramon asks you to determine the tax savings from the tax deduction in present value terms if he were to make the gift this year, rather than delaying the gift until next year. For purposes of this analysis, ignore the potential impact of the overall limitation on certain itemized deductions.
Total present value of tax savings from the tax deduction if made this year:$________
Total present value of tax savings from the tax deduction if made next year: $_______
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Since the AGI is given as $180,000, his charitable contribution will be:
= $180,000 × 60%
= $180,000 × 0.6
= $108,000
a. The Total present value of tax savings from the tax deduction if made this year will be:
Present value of tax savings = $108000 × 24% = $108000 × 0.24 = $25920
Add: Present value of tax savings for deferred part = ($113000 - $108000) × 0.9434 × 32% = $1509
Therefore, Total present value of tax savings from the tax deduction if made this year will be:
= $25920 + $1509.44
= $27429.44
b. Total present value of tax savings from the tax deduction if made next year will be:
= $113000 × 0.9434 × 32%
= $113000 × 0.9434 × 0.32
= $34113.34
Wall Inc. forecasts that it will have the free cash flows (in millions) shown below. Assume the firm has zero non-operating assets. If the weighted average cost of capital is 14% and the free cash flows are expected to continue growing at the same rate after Year 3 as from Year 2 to Year 3, what is the firm’s total corporate value, in millions? Do not round intermediate calculationsYear 1 2 3
Free cash flow -$20.00 $48.00 $50.50
Answer:
$461.38
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the firm’s total corporate value, in millions
First step is to find the growth rate
Using this formula
g = FCF3/FCF2 - 1
Let plug in the formula
g=($50.50/$48.00)-1
g=1.05208333-1
g= 5.208333%
Second step is to calculate the horizon or value at Year 2
Using this formula
Year 2 Horizon value = FCF3/(WACC – g)
Let plug in the formula
Year 2 Horizon value (HV2)=$50.50/(14%-5.208333%)
Year 2 Horizon value=$50.50/8.791667%
Year 2 Horizon value= $574.41
Now let calculate the Total corporate value using this formula
Total corporate value = FCF1/(1.14) +(FCF2 + HV2)/(1.14)^2
Let plug in the formula
Total corporate value=-$20/(1+.14)+($48+$574.39)/(1+.14)^2
Total corporate value=-$20/(1.14)+($48+$574.39)/(1.14)^2
Total corporate value=-$17.54+($622.41)/(1.14)^2
Total corporate value=-$17.54+$478.92
Total corporate value= $461.38
Therefore the firm’s total corporate value, in millions is $461.38

Answer:
12
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Determine the company's price-earnings ratio
First step is to calculate the Earnings per Share
on Common Stock
Earnings per Share
on Common Stock = ($410,000 – $60,000) ÷ $50,000
Earnings per Share on Common Stock = $7
Now let calculate thecompany's price-earnings ratio
Price-Earnings Ratio = $84÷$7
Price-Earnings Ratio = 12
Therefore the company's price-earnings ratio is 12

Explanation:
Kate fell asleep with a candle lit by her bed. She was sleeping on a mattress manufactured by the United Mattress Co. The candle fell from her nightstand and dropped onto the mattress where she slept. The mattress caught fire and Kate was severely burned. The mattress was a cheap no-frills model. It had been treated with some chemical additives to make it partially flame-resistant, but only to the extent of slowing the speed at which the fabric caught fire. It is possible to make mattresses fully flame-proof, but the process is an expensive one, so expensive that it would have taken the price of this mattress out of the "budget" range. The mattress bore a label indicating "flame resistant." During a discussion with the sales manager Kate asked about whether it was safe, and indicated she sometimes kept a candle by the bed. The sales manager said it was "the best mattress on the market." Kate wants to file a lawsuit against United Mattress Co. Can Kate sue based on negligence? Can Kate sue based on breach of warranty?
Answer:
1. Kate cannot sue United based on negligence, which is the duty of care. United was not negligent and owed no duty of care in this instance to Kate.
2. Kate can rather sue based on a breach of warranty. There was a warranty (a written specific guarantee) on the mattress label, which indicated that it was "flame resistant."
Explanation:
A warranty, in this case, involves the written statement or claim by United Mattress Co. that the mattress was "flame resistant." United could have limited its liability for breach of a warranty by indicating clearly that the mattress could only slow the flaming process instead of just resisting flame. By making the onerous claim that the mattress was "flame resistant," United was exposing itself to liability claims by Kate, who was clearly negligent in putting a candle near her mattress while sleeping.
Reporting changes in Equipment on Statement of Cash Flows An analysis of the general ledger accounts indicates that delivery equipment, which cost $200,000 and on which accumulated depreciation totaled $60,000 on the date of sale, was sold for $132,500 during the year. Using this information, indicate the items to be reported on the statement of cash flows.
Transaction Section of Statement Added or Deducted
of Cash Flows
$200,000 cost of equipment Not shown on statement Not applicable
$60000 accumulated
depreciation Not shown on statement Not applicable
$132,500 sales price Cash flows from investing
activities Added
$7,500 loss on sale of equipment
(assume the indirect method
is used) Cash flows from operating
activities Added
Answer:
$200,000 cost of Equipment
This is not shown in the Cash flow statement unless it was purchased in the current year. Seeing as the asset is being sold significantly less than it was bought, we will assume this is not the case so this does not go into the Cashflow statement.
$60,000 Accumulated depreciation
NOT SHOWN IN CASHFLOW STATEMENT because it is only the current year depreciation that is shown.
$132,500 sales price.
This is ADDED TO CASHFLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES because investing activities deals with fixed assets so when they are sold, they are added back to the Investing activities to reflect the inflow of cash.
$7,500 loss on Sale of Equipment
This is ADDED TO CASHFLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES because the sales price already includes it in Investing activities yet Net income has accounted for it already by deducting it. To avoid double counting, the loss will have to be cancelled out by adding it back to the operating activities.
Bustillo Incorporated is working on its cash budget for March. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $54,000. Budgeted cash receipts total $138,000 and budgeted cash disbursements total $133,000. The desired ending cash balance is $78,000. To attain its desired ending cash balance for March, the company needs to borrow:____.
Answer:
$19,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine To attain its desired ending cash balance for March, the company needs to borrow
First step is to calculate the Actual ending cash balance
Using this formula
Actual ending cash balance = Beginning cash balance + Cash receipts −Cash disbursements
Let plug in the formula
Actual ending cash balance= $54,000 + $138,000 −$133,000
Actual ending cash balance= $59,000
Now let calculate the Amount borrowed
Using this formula
Amount borrowed = Desired ending cash balance −Actual ending cash balance
Let plug in the formula
Amount borrowed = $78,000 −$59,000
Amount borrowed= $19,000
Therefore To attain its desired ending cash balance for March, the company needs to borrow $19,000
Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 6.2 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 years to maturity, whereas Bond Ted has 25 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill? Of Bond Ted? Both bonds have a par value of $1000. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then? Of Bond Ted? Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?
Answer:
a-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = -8.07%
a-2. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = -21.12%
b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = 8.94%
b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = 30.77%
c. See the attached excel file for the graph.
d. It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.
Explanation:
The price of each bond can be calculated using the following excel function:
Bond price = -PV(YTM, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)
Where;
a-1. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill?
YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%
NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31
FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
New price of Bond Bill = -PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000)
Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:
New price of Bond Bill = $919.29
Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($919.29 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -8.07%
a-2. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted?
YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%
NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31
FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
New price of Bond Ted = -PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000)
Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:
New price of Bond Ted = $788.81
Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($788.81 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -21.12%
b-1. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then?
YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%
NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31
FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
New price of Bond Bill = -PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000)
Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:
New price of Bond Bill = $1,089.36
Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($1,089.36 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 8.94%
b-2. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted be then?
rate = new YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%
NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31
FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
New price of Bond Ted = -PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000)
Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:
New price of Bond Ted = $1,307.73
Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($1,307.73 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 30.77%
c. Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM.
Note: See the attached excel file for the graph.
d. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?
It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.
Isoquants are convex to the origin due to: Group of answer choices the law of diminishing marginal utility. the fact that as less capital is used, its marginal productivity falls. the fact that as more labor is used, its marginal productivity rises. the assumption of the diminishing marginal productivity of each input.
Answer:
The correct answer is the last option: the assumption of the diminishing marginal productivity of each point.
Explanation:
On the one hand, the isoquants are the curves used in the study of microeconomics that particulary show the different combinations of inputs that a company can use in the production of its product with the purpose of maximizing it.
On the other hand the law of diminishing marginal productivity establishes that as long as a particular factor in the production keeps increasing then the productivity of the produciton will slowly decrease with each increase of the factor mentioned before.
So in conclusion, the isoquants are convex curves because that law establishes that if a factor goes up, the productivity goes up as well but at a lower level until eventualy goes down.
Coronado Industries reported the following information for 2016: October November December Budgeted sales $470000 $420000 $510000 Budgeted purchases $290000 $226000 $268000 All sales are on credit. Customer amounts on account are collected 50% in the month of sale and 50% in the following month. Cost of goods sold is 35% of sales. Coronado purchases and pays for merchandise 60% in the month of acquisition and 40% in the following month. Accounts payable is used only for inventory acquisitions. How much cash will Coronado receive during November?
Answer: $445000
Explanation:
Based on the information that has been provided in the question, the amount of cash that Coronado will receive during the month of November will be:
= October sales × 50% + Novemeber sales × 50%
= ($470000 × 50%) + (420000 × 50%)
= $235000 + $210000
= $445000
Pretax Income From Percentage-Of- Completion Completed Contract Difference 2017 $1,024,000 $657,000 $367,000 2018 1,280,000 821,250 458,750 (a) Incorrect answer iconYour answer is incorrect. Assuming that the tax rate is 40%, what is the amount of net income that would be reported in 2018
Answer: $768,000
Explanation:
In 2018 the Net income is based on the pretax income from percentage of completion of $1,280,000.
Net income = Pretax income * ( 1 - tax rate)
= 1,280,000 * (1 - 40%)
= $768,000
Which work trait do most employers look for in a perspective employee? (Hint: it deals with time)
Answer:
time management
Explanation:
Based on my experiences, I believe that the best trait that employers look for in these employees would be time management. In other words, an employee is able to divide their time between various tasks and responsibilities as efficiently as possible. Every employee will have more than one responsibility and if they are able to accomplish all of them efficiently by organizing their schedule and putting all their focus into each task, it ultimately saves the company a huge amount of money and generates more profits because things are getting done.

36. Regina Company purchased a Cash register on January 1 for $5,400. This register has a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $400. What would be the depreciation expense for the second-year of its useful life using the double-declining-balance method
Answer:
$864
Explanation:
Double-declining-balance charges a higher depreciation in early years of the asset and lower in the later years using the formula :
Depreciation expense = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP
Where,
SLDP = 100 ÷ useful life
= 10 %
and
BVSLDP = Cost (1st year) and Book Value (any other year)
therefore,
Year 1
Depreciation expense = 2 x 10 % x $5,400
= $1,080
Year 2
Depreciation expense = 2 x 10 % x ($5,400 - $1,080)
= $864
thus
The depreciation expense for the second-year of its useful life using the double-declining-balance method is $864.
Suppose that you are a speculator that anticipates an appreciation of the Singapore dollar (S$). You purchase a call option contract on Singapore dollars. Each contract represents S$40,000, with a strike price of $0.69 and call option premium of $0.03 per unit. Suppose that the spot price of the Singapore dollar is $0.70 just before the expiration of the call option contract. At this time, you call the contract and immediately sell the Singapore dollars to a bank at the current spot price.
Fill in the following table from your (the buyer's) perspective.
Transaction Per Unit Per Contract
Selling price of $0.92 _________
- Purchase Price of 5$ -$0.86 _________
- Premium Paid for Option -$0.02 _________
Net profit _________ _________
Answer: $1600
Explanation:
Selling price:
Per unit = $0.92
Per contract = $0.92 × 40000 = $36800
Purchase price of $5:
Per unit = -$0.86
Per contract = -$0.86 × 40000 = -$34400
Premium Paid for Option:
Per unit: -$0.02
Per contract = -$0.02 × 40000 = -800
Net profit = $36800 + (-$34400) + (-800)
= $36800 - $34400 - $800
= $1600
The net profit is $1600

A company can manufacture a product using hand tools. Tools will cost $1,000, and the manufacturing cost per unit will be $1.50. As an alternative, an automated system will cost $15,000 with a manufacturing cost per unit of $0.50. With an anticipated annual volume of 5,000 units and neglecting interest, the breakeven point (years) is most nearly:
Answer: 2.8 years
Explanation:
Assume that the number of years it will take for both alternatives to be equal is "t". The breakeven point can be found by equating the fixed cost formulas of both alternatives.
First alternative:
= 1,000 + (1.50 * 5,000 units) * t
Second alternative:
= 15,000 + (0.5 * 5,000) * t
1,000 + 7,500t = 15,000 + 2,500t
7,500t - 2,500t = 15,000 - 1,000
5,000t = 14,000
t = 14,000 / 5,000
t = 2.8 years
